brand of the day: kiton
fear of loss. it's a sales technique. it's an impulse that makes my clients think that the product/service i'm offering is only there for today and that it's a one in a life time chance. mike is the managing director of the company i work for. jacob is the guy that trained me. jacob tells me on thursday that mike wants to fire me. mike elaborates on that even more this morning saying that me, and the whole team's position in the company is on thin ice. so basically threatening us saying that we're at high risk of losing our jobs but by that time i've had the weekend to think about it and not really give a fuck about my job. so instead of working today, i went and saw a movie and done some shopping. when i arrive back at the office after a hard days work, i tell mike i'm going to quit. jacob isn't in the office but soon hears about it. by that time i'm down at the roxy with steff, vivian and tanya whom i have made quit with me having celebration drinks. surprisingly enough jacob calls. this time he doesn't beg for me to come back like he did the last 2 times. this time he invited me for breakfast for a 1 on 1 chat. jacob has been a fucking cunt to me for the last 2 weeks. him and mike have fear of lossed (so to speak) me for the last week. so i turn around and quit, fear of lossing them back. ya see, they think reverse psychology works on me. obviously it doesn't. im a fucking asset to their company. if i'm not there, the performance and growth of the business is limited. i played them at their own game and jacob WILL ask me, or at least convince me to come back on wednesday and which i probably will. but this was just to teach them a lesson and show them that i'm not afraid to quit. so basically, in the workplace if you're boss is being a prick and says he will fire you then call their bluff and do it before they get you because you got too much pride on your plate. whether they ask for you back totally depends on you. if you're worth keeping then they'll ask for you back. if they don't, well i'm sorry to say but you're a useless coke can in a gutter.
oh and remember kids, dont take pills. just snort speed/coke and drink cocktails cuz you're a fucking high roller.
